Israel Adesanya just got to serve his first defeat in the MMA at UFC 259, and the one to do that is the light-heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz.
Blachowicz was crowned as the light-heavyweight champion after he defeated Dominick Reyes at a title fight after Jon Jones vacated his title, and in his own words, this defense feels even sweeter.
In the post-fight interview he said, “It tastes different. I proved that I’m a true champion. I don’t know yet. Always, when you win the fight, it’s an amazing feeling. But right now, because I won against someone like Israel, one of the best in the world, [and] now he’s got 20-1, so he’s going to remember me until the end of his life; I’m the first one to defeat him in MMA, it tastes much better. It’s amazing.”
Dana White revealed an interesting conversation between him and Jan, he told the reporters.
“I put the belt on him, and he turned around and looked at me and said, ‘You don’t believe in me. I said, ‘What the f*ck did I do? How did I not believe in you?’ These guys are crazy. I’ve got nothing but good things to say about the guy. Yes, yes [I believe in him].”
Jan explained what he meant by “You don’t believe in me” statement
During the interview one of the reporters asked Jan about this conversation and he said it wasn’t a statement it was a question.
He said, “I was asking, ‘You don’t believe in me?’ And he said, ‘No, I truly believe in you,’” he said. “Then after that, I thanked him for everything he does for the fighters, that we can fight and have a job.”
